Umpolung carbonyls enable direct allylation and olefination of carbohydrates
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Mother Nature has its own arts to build a vast number of carbohydrates; however, there is still a lack of tools for selective functionalization of native carbohydrates through C─C bond formation. Such a long-standing challenge for the synthetic community lies into the intrinsic problems related to the innate properties of carbohydrates, e.g., the ease to oligomerization or polymerization, the difficulty of chemoselectivity control in the presence of multiple hydroxyl groups, the great challenge to retain the multiple chiral centers during the transformation, etc. Here, by applying an umpolung strategy of carbohydrate carbonyls, we report a direct deoxygenative allylation and olefination of carbohydrates to tackle the abovementioned issues. The reaction is compatible with a wide range of natural carbohydrates, providing a direct synthetic method to use carbohydrates as multiple C-centered chiral synthons to achieve C─C bond cross-coupling reactions. Furthermore, the synthetic applicability is demonstrated by late-stage modifications of natural products and pharmaceutical derivatives.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
